​Beginning next week, Tues, Sept 26, the contractor for the bridge deck replacement of Metropolitan Ave and Fresh Pond Rd over LIRR will return to the Stage 1 construction configuration. On Tuesday the contractor will begin the roadway striping, which will be followed by the relocation of the barrier back into the middle of Metropolitan Avenue.

Metropolitan Avenue was reopened with all lanes in July to accommodate the shuttle buses for the M Train work that occurred during July and August.

For those of you Woodside folks, the repaving of Calamus is being done separate from this list since you'll be getting new curbs and sidewalks as well as the street repaving supposedly by November. If it's not too cold, maybe we should have a big block party to celebrate the end of the Calamus Avenue sewer nightmare! lol
